Transcript

April 26, 1927. Miss Agnes Laut, Wassaic, New York. My dear Miss Laut: Thank you for your letter, also the enclosed letter of Mr. McBride. I have written him and am enclosing a copy of my letter. If you have time and have any suggestions to give, I would appreciate it as I am very green about publishers. It is nice to know you are well, and I hope to see you in the West again this year; maybe as you fly by on your way to the Coast. I have been very busy getting a new line up on my life. I am now in my new home which I call TRAIL’S END and hope to make a successful little gallery from which to sell Russel [sic] Bronze and books, and once in a very long time, -a picture. I don’t want to dispose of the paintings. I plan to go back to Montana in June when Jack is out of school, and will at that time settle up a lot of my affairs in Montana – three homes are too much. Thanks so much for your letter and all good wishes to you. Sincerely,
